My noisy, hard but rather well performing Nexen CP641 have been on for 61K miles and still have life. I have ben looking around and two tires caught my eye

1. Conti DWS 215/50/17
2.FireHawk Wide Oval 215/50/17

Stock struts/shocks/wheels, would 215 be a useful increase over the 205 ? If you have run the wide oval any feedback would be great! Not a track car or racer, just want a quiet A/S tire (anything less noisy than the CP641)
